Bison Burgers on the Westside

Swit Bakery. It’s gone. You know this. You’ve said your goodbyes. And now you’re ready to welcome
something new in its place. That something: West & Mill Bistro Bar. Their deal: bison burgers, cold
beers and weekend brunching. Good to know Swit didn’t die in vain.

The Pinewood, Now Brown-Bagging It

No one can pack a lunch like Mom did. Well, the Pinewood is trying. They just launched a brown-bag
lunch/sit-down counter service. On the to-go menu: turkey meat loaf, chicken and andouille gumbo, and
PB&J. Crust optional.

IT’S GETTING CHILI

50-Plus Kinds of Chili in Brookhaven...

You’ve been neglecting chili lately. Probably because it was hot out. Or you were on a gazpacho kick. Or
because you were waiting for the Brookhaven Chili Cook-Off... It’ll be you, your chili, some ice-cold
brews, a tasting spoon and 50 massive vats of homemade chili. No double-dipping.

Sunday

FUNKY CHICKEN

And 20-Plus Kinds of Fried Chicken

Or maybe you’re in more of a buttermilk-brined-drumstick kind of mood. If so, here’s a different
cook-off. A fried-chicken-themed one that’s being judged by Kevin Gillespie and awarding the winner a free
trip to New York. For everyone else: probably a set of steak knives.

Doing Italian Things at Double Zero

The Feast of San Gennaro. It’s that festival in Little Italy. Happens once a year. Everyone eats a bunch
of cannoli. Well, this year, Double Zero is taking a stab at it. There’ll be pizza-making classes, vendors
everywhere (think High Road/pasta/sausage guys), music and as always: Italian wines for tastings.
Generously.
